113. My parents consider her a carpetbagger.

They were born and raised in the Bronx.

Both plan on voting for Bernie in the primary and plan to sit out the election if Hillary is the candidate.

My Mom voted for her as Senator the first time, but after she voted for the Iraq war, she wrote her off forever.
